Orlando City continues to score goals in bunches, bouncing back from last week’s loss at Colubus with a 3-1 win over FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, TX. Ramiro Enrique, Rodrigo Schlegel, and Facundo Torres scored to lead the Lions (13-11-7, 46 points) to their first road win ever against FC Dallas (10-14-7, 37 points). Orlando City clinched a playoff spot with the win.

Things got nervy at the end, as Paul Arriola scored from the penalty spot after a foul in the box by Nico Lodeiro, and FC Dallas had a second goal overturned due to Arriola being offside in the buildup.

“One more time we qualify for the playoffs. It’s a credit for the group of players that had a big heart and a big love for the club too, and a lot of passion for what they do,” Orlando City Head Coach Oscar Pareja said after the match. “So, I’m very happy. It’s a special night today, coming here to Dallas, in a very difficult city to play against, and we won, scored three goals. We played an excellent (first) 75 minutes, and the reaction of Dallas in the last part was very good as well. Complicated the game, but we finally clinched, and that was the first objective, and we’re happy.”

Pareja’s lineup featured Pedro Gallese in goal behind a back line of Rafael Santos, Robin Jansson, Schlegel, and Kyle Smith, with Dagur Dan Thorhallsson out with a lower leg injury. Cesar Araujo returned from suspension to play in the central midfield with Wilder Cartagena behind an attacking line of Ivan Angulo, Martin Ojeda, and Torres, with Enrique up top.

Orlando City held most of the possession in the first half, but didn’t create much out of it. Some of that was due to unselfishness, turning down shooting opportunities to try to play in a teammate, and then sending in a poor return ball that the FC Dallas was able to intercept. The crossing also left a lot to be desired at times, including just three minutes into the match, when Santos had space on the left but sent the ball in for Maarten Paes to easily catch.

Petar Musa had the first good look for Dallas in the 15th minute, taking the ball wide of Cartagena and fizzing a shot over Gallese’s crossbar.

The Lions broke the scoreless deadlock three minutes later. Santos got his cross right this time, sending in a near-post ball. Enrique got across the much larger Omar Gonzalez and sent a glancing header just under the bar past Paes to open the scoring in the 18th minute. It was Orlando City’s first-ever road goal at Dallas.

Ojeda nearly doubled the lead two minutes later. Left with space just outside the area, the Argentine smashed a shot toward goal. Paes did well to get down to make the save. Ojeda’s placement was too close to the goalkeeper, otherwise the Lions would have had a two-goal advantage in the 20th minute.

Arriola had a go from outside the area in the aftermath of a Dallas corner in the 27th minute, forcing Gallese to get down to make a good save.

Musa thought he’d scored for Dallas in the 31st minute off an Arriola cross but there was an obvious push by the midfielder on Angulo to win the ball back and Orlando was correctly awarded a free kick.

The Lions were slow to close down in the 35th minute and it was nearly a costly mistake, as a cross found Arriola’s head at the near post. His back-post effort was just wide of goal.

Ojeda made a great cutback pass to Enrique in the box in the 39th minute but the striker got under his shot and fired it high into the crowd.

Arriola’s cross for Musa late in the half was caught in the air by Gallese, and the Dallas striker took a hit in the ensuing collision but was able to continue.

The last good chance of the half fell to Orlando as Enrique stole the ball in the attacking third. He had an opportunity to shoot from the right, but he opted instead to try to pick out a teammate and the Dallas defense intercepted his pass.

At the half, the Lions held the advantage in possession (60.2%-39.8%), shots (4-3), shots on target (2-1), and passing accuracy (94.4%-86.8%). Both teams earned two corner kicks in the opening period.

Although it was only a 1-0 lead at the break, Orlando dominated the first half of the game.

“I thought it was a clear idea that we had with the players during the week, after our game in Columbus, that we wanted to have more domination of the ball and more compromise, and trying to look for the spaces with personality,” Pareja said. “That was our compromise with the players. And I think that is what I saw on the pitch. I saw them moving everywhere and provided support to their teammates when they had the ball. Our line of passing was very correct, the occupation of the spaces as well. So, we had a very complete half.”

FC Dallas changed shape in the second half but not much changed. Orlando conceded more of the possession but was able to add to its lead and could (and should) have scored even more than the two it got in the second half.

Dallas got the first chance of the second period in the 50th minute when a deflected ball fell for Musa, who volleyed it toward goal but couldn’t keep his shot down.

Just seconds after that miss, the Lions doubled their lead. A dangerous cross from Smith on the right was intended for Angulo at the back post but former Lion Ruan knocked it behind for a corner. Ojeda sent in a good delivery and Schlegel attacked it in the air, powering a header into the upper right corner to make it 2-0 in the 51st minute.

“It’s obviously something that we work on constantly throughout the week,” Schlegel said of the set piece goal. “It’s almost automatic that we’re going to work on those set pieces. Sometimes in the games they don’t come out well. They don’t turn out the way that we practice them, or that we hoped, a lot of times based on the defense too. And obviously, it’s been a while since I was able to score. But that doesn’t mean that the work ever stopped. Thankfully, it went in tonight, and just really happy with this whole team.”

Ruan tried to get his team right back in it, blazing down the right flank in the 54th minute and sending a fierce cross through the six, but it was in front of everyone and went out of play on the other side on a deflection by Orlando.

The Lions again immediately punished Dallas for missing an opportunity. Enrique took the ball away in the attacking end on an errant Dallas back pass and immediately sent the ball behind for Torres’ attacking run. Torres slowed down, took a look at goal, and passed the ball past Paes to make it 3-0 in the 55th minute.

With the goal, Torres tied Cyle Larin for the club’s all-time lead in goals across all competitions, with 44.

FC Dallas didn’t give up, rolling the dice with multiple substitutions and sending more numbers forward into the attack in a desperation move that backfired multiple times, but the Lions were unable to punish the hosts further, despite some good chances to do so.

Alan Velasco tried a blast from outside the area in the 63rd minute that required a Gallese save. Orlando City then got down the left side and Enrique won a free kick near the corner. The ball in bounced off a couple of players and Dallas looked to counterattack, but the Lions were able to recover defensively to stop the transition before it resulted in a chance.

Pareja sent Luis Muriel and Duncan McGuire on in the 65th minute for Enrique and Ojeda, and it nearly paid dividends right away. Angulo won a corner kick and the ball was initially cleared, but the Lions recovered and recycled the attack. Jansson ended up with the ball on the left side in the area and played it across for McGuire in front. The striker’s shot was saved by Paes’ foot from point-blank range as he hit it too straight with either side available in the 66th minute.

Moments later, the alarm bells rang in Orlando’s defensive third as Santos and Angulo were beaten in the box by Tsiki Ntsabeleng. A shot was headed inside the left post but Schlegel was there to block it and clear it away.

Muriel sent McGuire in behind in the 71st minute with a perfect through ball. Again McGuire was denied by Paes as his shot was soft and poorly placed, allowing the Dallas keeper to make the stop.

FC Dallas came right back the other way and Gallese had to make a save on a Musa shot.

Lodeiro subbed on for Cartagena in the 73rd minute and one of his first involvements threw Dallas a lifeline. Going for a loose ball in the box, he was beaten to it from his right side and he got the man instead of the ball, fouling Bernard Kamungo. Jair Marrufo awarded the penalty immediately.

Arriola waited for Gallese to commit and slotted it down the middle to make it 3-1 in the 78th minute.

Things got weird in the 80th minute as the Lions started to get beaten by runs in direct play. Gallese came out of his area to head away a ball over the top and got caught out when Dallas regained possession. Kamungo tried to score from distance but Gallese recovered and got his hand to it, knocking it out for a corner. Logan Farrington was left unattended at the near post on the set piece, but he missed the net with his header in the 81st minute. Musa then was all alone in front two minutes later but sent his header right at Gallese.

In the 85th minute, Musa came within inches of making it a one-goal game, smashing a wicked shot off the crossbar near the left post from a tight angle. Farrington won another Dallas corner in the 88th minute and this time second-half substitute Show was left alone at the near post but missed his header wide.

Dallas appeared to pull within 3-2 in the 90th minute. The ball was sent to Arriola out wide on the left and his cutback cross was put in by Farrington. Marrufo went to the monitor and found that Arriola was about a foot offside in the buildup, nullifying the goal by Farrington, who was booked for dissent after the call was made.

The hosts continued to look threatening during six minutes of stoppage time that grew to eight. Gallese did well to come off his line and get to a ball just in front of Kamungo in the 94th minute. Ntsabeleng sent a shot just wide in the 96th minute from outside the area.

McGuire again got in behind the defense in the 97th minute on another excellent ball from Muriel. This time, the big striker was on the left side. As he teed up a shot on his stronger right foot, Marco Farfan arrived to block it.

Farrington got one more good chance for Dallas in the 98th minute, but Gallese made the save. Orlando got the ball forward, and Marrufo blew the whistle for full time.

Orlando City ended the game with the advantage in possession (52.4%-47.6%), shots on goal (7-6), passing accuracy (90.3%-86.4%), and corners (7-6). With its late flurry, Dallas ended up with more total shot attempts (16-13).

“At the end, we started defending low. We lost control of the ball, and Dallas pushed, sent numbers and complicated those last 15 minutes,” Pareja said. “Credit to them too. I thought that they did a good job in that part, but once again, we’re happy. The game plan worked, and the boys clinched. And congratulations to everybody who is involved in our club and the fans.”

“Obviously, we’re very happy,” Schlegel said. “Our first goal for the year was to qualify for the playoffs and clinch a spot in the playoffs. So, obviously, we’re very happy and just very proud of every player in this group, and every member of the technical staff, and this whole group together.”

With the win, Orlando City has reached the postseason for the fifth consecutive season, qualifying every year since Pareja took over as head coach prior to the 2020 campaign.


The Lions return home Wednesday for a midweek match against the Philadelphia Union.

Orlando City Has Been Better than Expected Halfway Through the Season

While there was plenty to worry about at the start of the season, Orlando has had a good first half of 2025.

Published

With 18 matches in the books, we’ve moved just past the halfway point of the 2025 Major League Soccer season, and based off my feelings before Orlando City played its opening game of the season, the Lions have performed above expectations so far. There were plenty of valid reasons to be concerned heading into the year. Orlando had sold its all-time leading goal scorer, and there were questions about whether he’d been adequately replaced. There were worries about depth at multiple positions, and the defense was coming off an uncharacteristically poor year. Here we are though, with the Lions sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference, just three points out of second place and seven points out of first. So how did we get to this point?

For one thing, Marco Pasalic has been much better than I (and I think a lot of other people) expected him to be. The Croatian has six goals and four assists across 18 matches, and is second on the team in both categories. He scored 10 goals in 49 appearances in the Croatian first division before coming to Orlando and was extremely one-footed, which was enough evidence to sow real doubt about whether he could adequately replace the impact of Facundo Torres.

So far, it’s mostly been so good. His direct style of play is a good complement to the styles of Martin Ojeda and Luis Muriel, and he’s largely hit the ground running in a league that can be difficult to adapt to. It hasn’t been perfect, as he’s still very one-footed, and can sometimes disappear if he’s stringently man marked, but on the whole there’s been much more good than bad.

Speaking of Ojeda and Muriel, they’ve also had strong years. Ojeda in particular has continued his great second half of the 2024 season and has nine goals and five assists in 18 games to show for it. He looks fast, confident, and decisive and is a far cry from the player who struggled frequently during his first year as a Lion. Muriel has cooled off a little after a scorching start to 2025, but he still has six goals and three assists in 18 matches. He looks vastly improved from last year, when he looked a little off the pace of play and quickly lost the starting striker role. He still has a tendency to not be as selfish as he needs to be in front of goal, but he’s been much better than 2024.

I mentioned depth being a big concern, and not just at one position. At the beginning of the season Orlando City was, and arguably still is, thin at striker, center back, defensive midfield, and fullback. Duncan McGuire was injured to start the year and is now injured again, leaving Orlando with two true strikers in Muriel and Ramiro Enrique. There was no true backup left back, only one reliable backup center back, and Dagur Dan Thorhallsson starting at right back meant that defensive midfield depth consisted of rookie Joran Gerbet and the Swiss army knife that is Kyle Smith.

Things have mostly worked out though. David Brekalo has supplanted Rafael Santos, meaning the Brazilian is now a proven backup option at the position, and Smith has filled in there as well. That means that in games in which Rodrigo Schlegel or Robin Jansson are unavailable, Brekalo fills in at center back, Santos starts at left back, and Smith is the backup for both positions, so it isn’t a flawless system. Gerbet has been playing better and better and got some valuable minutes when Eduard Atuesta and Cesar Araujo were unavailable. His emergence has been a crucial piece of the puzzle this year. So too has the rise of Alex Freeman, as his locking down the right back role has allowed Thorhallsson to fill in at defensive midfield, attacking midfield, and right back. The situation isn’t perfect, as a couple untimely injuries to the wrong guys would leave the Lions looking pretty threadbare, but so far it’s just about worked.

Another big concern was the defense. The Lions conceded 50 goals in the regular season last year, which was tied for the second-most of any Eastern Conference playoff team and fourth-most of any playoff team. With no defensive signings and the aforementioned depth concerns, there were plenty of reasons to worry about Orlando’s ability to keep the ball out of the back of the net.

Things have looked much better in 2025, though. The 22 goals OCSC has conceded are the fifth-fewest in the league, and Pedro Gallese’s eight clean sheets are tied for most in the league. Aside from a few egregious defensive performances against the Philadelphia Union, Atlanta United, and the Chicago Fire, things have mostly been tidy at the back, and when they haven’t been, El Pulpo has been around to pick up the slack. Again, things haven’t been perfect, as there have been moments where individual and collective errors have hurt the team, but it’s been better.


I thought the Lions would struggle this year. Going into the start of the season, we were talking about a team that lost Torres, arguably didn’t do enough to strengthen the team across the board, was facing depth issues, and was dealing with a leaky defense — all while pretty much every other contender in the East got stronger on paper. Instead, OCSC tied a club-best unbeaten streak and is just three points out of second place.

That being said, the East is so tight that Orlando is only five points above the playoff line, and injuries to the wrong guys could easily topple the fragile ecosystem that is the depth chart, but so far things are going better than I thought they would be. There are still a lot of matches to play, but this isn’t a bad position to be in at the halfway mark.

Happy Friday! June continues to fly by as we enjoy the buffet of soccer here in the U.S. this month. I’ll be spending most of the weekend working, but I am hoping to get some reading done after being gifted some books for my birthday. But enough about me, let’s jump right into today’s links!

Orlando Pride Face Racing Louisville Tonight

The Orlando Pride are on the road tonight for a match against Racing Louisville FC at 8 p.m. in the final game before a league break until August. Going into the break with four straight wins would be nice for the Pride, but they’ve struggled at Lynn Family Stadium over the years. Louisville enters this match following a 4-2 loss to the league-leading Kansas City Current and has scored eight goals over the past three games. Orlando’s defense has been phenomenal this year, conceding just eight goals this season and only one during this win streak. Midfielder Cori Dyke spoke on how the team is finding its groove and shutting out opponents.

Zambia Calls Up Orlando Pride Trio

Barbra Banda, Grace Chanda, and Prisca Chilufya were all called up for Zambia’s CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations roster ahead of this summer’s tournament. Banda has eight goals this season with the Pride and had four goals at last year’s Olympics, including a hat trick against Australia. The Copper Queens claimed third place in the 2022 edition of this tournament, and they’ll need to be at their best to win this summer against tough opponents like South Africa and Nigeria. Zambia’s tournament campaign will kick off on July 5 against the host nation, Morocco.

USMNT Beats Saudi Arabia to Qualify for Quarterfinals

The United States Men’s National Team won 1-0 against Saudi Arabia to clinch a spot in the quarterfinals of this year’s Concacaf Gold Cup. After a scoreless first half, the Yanks broke through in the 63rd minute thanks to a free kick. Sebastian Berhalter served the ball on a silver platter to Chris Richards, who buried it for the crucial goal. The defense did well to secure its second shutout of the tournament, with Orlando City’s Alex Freeman starting at right back yet again. The USMNT will play Haiti on Sunday and should be able to win the group for a smoother path in the knockout stage.

FIFA Club World Cup Roundup

An MLS club finally won a game during this year’s FIFA Club World Cup, with Inter Miami beating Porto 2-1 in Atlanta. Lionel Messi scored the winner from a free kick to complete the comeback after conceding an early goal. The Seattle Sounders had a rougher day, falling 3-1 to Atletico Madrid, with Pablo Barrios scoring a brace. Former Lion Facundo Torres started for Palmeiras in the Brazilian club’s 2-0 win over Egypt’s Al Ahly.

Today’s action features more soccer at Inter&Co Stadium, with Benfica and Auckland City squaring off in the City Beautiful. Our Michael Citro will be on hand to report on it. Elsewhere in the U.S., Chelsea will take on Flamengo, LAFC will face ES Tunis, and Bayern Munich will play Boca Juniors.

Free Kicks

  • Canada Head Coach Jesse Marsch, who is already serving a suspension for misconduct during the Nations League, is under investigation by Concacaf for incidents during this Gold Cup. Reports detail that Marsch disregarded regulations and used offensive language toward match officials.
  • Kylian Mbappe was discharged from the hospital after suffering from a case of gastroenteritis. It’s unclear if or when he’ll play for Real Madrid during the Club World Cup.
  • Carlos Cuesta was hired as Parma’s next head coach after five years with Arsenal as an assistant coach. The 29-year-old becomes the second-youngest coach in Serie A history.
  • Manchester City was fined over $1 million by the English Premier League for repeated delays regarding kickoff times.

That’s all I have for you all today. I hope you all have a fantastic Friday and rest of your weekend!

In 2025, OCSC Stands for Orlando City Scorers Club

How Orlando City’s top offensive performers this season compare to the rest of MLS…and the Premier League.

Published

Last week, I wrote about the state of Orlando City at the halfway point of the season, focusing mostly on the team’s accomplishments on offense and defense through 17 games. For this week, let’s look at some of the top performing Lions, because it’s always fun to talk about offensive success. I do not apologize if you take offense to my desire to only focus on offense, because that would be defensive, and there is no place in this article for defense.

Many moons ago, back in January during the preseason, I wrote an article looking at the best offensive seasons in Orlando City’s MLS history. I used a derived metric called game score to rank the seasons, and I’ll quickly explain again how that is calculated:

Goals Scored + Expected Assists + 0.0113 (Progressive Carries + Progressive Passes)

I went into much more detail about why that is the calculation in the original article, but the quick and dirty version is that scoring goals, completing passes to players in dangerous scoring areas, and progressing the ball by dribbling and passing are core components of a strong offensive player. Think of the game score as an offensive value calculation, and think of it simply as a value for which more is better and the most is best.

Opta only tracked the last three contributing statistics (expected assists, progressive carries, and progressive passes) from 2018 onwards, and the chart below shows Orlando City’s 10 best MLS regular seasons since 2018. It also shows the season that currently ranks 11th — Martín Ojeda’s 2025 season, which, as a reminder, is only in game 18 of a 34-game regular season. This means, if you get the extrapolation machine out, Ojeda is on pace for a season-long game score of 26.5, which would rank as the highest full season game score in Orlando City history.

  • * The 2020 season contained only 23 games due to COVID-19
  • ** Ojeda’s stats are through 18 matches; MLS teams have played between 16-19 matches

Ojeda’s 14.1 currently ranks only behind Sam Surridge of Nashville (15.7), Anders Dreyer of San Diego (16.6), and some player from Miami who clearly wants to play for Orlando since he has lion as part of his first name (Messi, 16.8). During Ojeda’s first two seasons, he only accumulated 12.1 and 12.5, respectively, so this is already by far his best season in purple and it is just barely halfway complete.

Ojeda is not the only Orlando City player who is on pace to jump into the club’s all-time top 10 by the end of the season, as teammates Luis Muriel (10.76, on pace for 20.3) and Marco Pašalić (10.46, on pace for 19.8) are both in the top 30 in MLS this season. Muriel is 24th, and Pašalić is 27th. Orlando City is the only team in the league with three players in the top 30, or really the top 27 (shout out to my son, for whom 27 is his favorite number).

One last point on Ojeda: if we were to extrapolate his performance through 18 games to 38 games, his season game score would bump up to 29.6. Why did I choose 38? Well, 38 happens to be the number of games played in the world’s most popular league, England’s Premier League. I am well aware that the Premier League is a different level of competition than MLS, but just for fun I ran the numbers on the 2024-2025 Premier League season, and a season-long game score of 29.6 would coincidentally also rank Ojeda fourth in England, right behind Cole Palmer (29.7) and in front of Alexander Isak (29.2). I do not think Ojeda would actually finish fourth if he was in the Premier League, but my point is more that the frequency of Ojeda’s contributions for Orlando City thus far this season have been similar to that of Palmer for Chelsea and Isak for Newcastle, which is pretty heady company.

Speaking of heady, we also need to talk about the player who is leading Orlando City in aerial duel wins, Alex Freeman. Heady, aerial duels…you got the segue, right? Don’t answer that.

Freeman has been on a rocket ship in the last year, going from Orlando City B starter to Orlando City starter to U.S. Men’s National Team starter, and he likely will also be the MLS All-Star Game starter, too. My mention of his leading the team in aerial duel wins, while noteworthy, was really just a convenient way to cut over to talking about him and his season-long game score of 8.1.

According to Opta’s positional tracking, only two MLS defenders have accumulated game scores of more than six thus far this season — Philadelphia’s Kai Wagner at 6.88 and Freeman’s 8.1. The extrapolation machine says 8.1 through 18 games puts Freeman on pace for a final score of 15.2, which would be the second best performance by an MLS defender since tracking began in 2018. Freeman is going to miss at least a few more games due to being with the U.S. team during the Gold Cup, so that 15.2 will likely not happen, but wow, what a great first half of a season for Orlando City’s right back.

Going back to the Premier League for comparative context…actually, please sit down and buckle up first. Are you good? Ok.

Going back to the Premier League for comparative context, there is none. Freeman’s performance blows away every defender’s from that league. It will likely surprise few that the defender with the best season game score in the Premier League this season was Trent Alexander-Arnold, who accumulated a score of 13.5 during Liverpool’s championship run. That 13.5 was 15% better than the defender who finished in second place, and yet, if we extrapolate Freeman to 38 games, he would be on pace for 17.0, which is 26% better than Alexander-Arnold. Mind the gap.

Once again, I do not mean to say that Freeman is as skilled or would contribute like Alexander-Arnold did in the Premier League. It is instead that Freeman’s contributions to Orlando City’s offense are unlike that from any defenders in the Premier League. Freeman’s performance thus far this season places him 43rd in the overall MLS rankings, first among defenders, and ahead of strikers such as Christian Benteke, Emmanuel Latte Lath, and Brandon Vazquez. He ranks fourth on Orlando City, and the Lions are not only the only club with three players in the top 30, but also the only club with four players in the top 45.

Two teams had four players in the top 45 during the 2024 MLS season, and one of them was the LA Galaxy, the eventual MLS Cup champions. I am not saying that Orlando City having four players in the top 45 this season means they will win MLS Cup, but I am not not saying it either. I am saying I would like it to happen though, and saying that loudly and clearly.

The game score metric is not the be-all, end-all of measuring offensive prowess, but I think it does a good job of creating a ranking system where the eye test matches the math. Most fans would point to Ojeda as the player who has driven Orlando City’s offense more than any other this season, and being that the team is on pace to have one of the best, if not the best, goal-scoring seasons in the club’s MLS history, it should track that Ojeda is also on pace to have one of the best, if not the best, individual offensive seasons in the club’s MLS history as well.

There are 16 more MLS games to go, and the great thing about sports is that in any game anything can happen, and that is why we love to watch. It is awesome that all three Designated Players and Freeman are off to great starts, but nothing is guaranteed for the back half of the season. That’s why they play the games, as the saying goes. For all we know, Ramiro Enrique could come on like gangbusters in the final games and rip off double-digit goals to end as the team’s leading scorer.

Ramiro, this is a bold strategy, and I am on board for it. The more goals the merrier. Feel free to bring us fans some goals for Christmas in July.

Orlando City does not have a game this weekend, with next match coming June 25 on the road in St. Louis. Winning that game would give the Lions their third winning streak of the season and would be something I would very much like, since I will be doling out the grades for that game. And since I have been writing about the offense this week, how about three goals and three points?

Vamos Orlando!
